We plan to deprecate theWordPress (legacy)cPAddon in a future release of cPanel & WHM. We strongly recommend that you do not install that version.

Click Update cPAddon Config.

Reminder:

In cPanel & WHM version 64, we updated the cPAddons feature to use RPMs to install WordPress. When you install the WordPress cPAddon, the cPAddon also installs the WordPress Manager cPanel Plugin. This plugin includes theWordPress Managerinterface (Home >> Applications >> WordPress Manager). The WordPress Manager interface allows you to manage the WordPress installations on your cPanel account. We only provide this plugin with the new version of the WordPress cPAddon. We do not plan to add the plugin to the WordPress (legacy) cPAddon.

Enable Moderation

Warning:

In cPanel & WHM version 66, we deprecated the moderation feature and will remove it in the future. You cannot enable moderation for any cPAddons. Any cPAddons that currently use moderation will continue to function but, if you disable it, you cannot reactivate moderation.

To moderate installations for the WordPress cPAddon, perform the following steps:

For the WordPress (legacy) cPAddon, you must not modify or delete the default WordPress plugins and themes that the cPanel installation provides. WordPress will not update properly if you modify any of these files.

When the WordPress installation finishes, use your web browser to view the location that you entered in Step 4.

For example, if you installed WordPress in the http://example.com/wordpress/ directory, browse to the http://example.com/wordpress/ URL.

Important:

You must not modify or delete the default WordPress plugins and themes that the cPanel installation provides. WordPress will not update properly if you modify any of these files. The new RPM-based WordPress cPAddon supports changes to WordPress plugins and themes. But you must contact your hosting provider to verify that they installed the new RPM-based WordPress cPAddon.

If WordPress is not available as a cPAddon, users can ask their hosting provider to add it, or they install WordPress directly themselves (see User installs WordPress directly).

Note:

In cPanel & WHM version 64, we updated the cPAddons feature to use RPMs to install WordPress. In the latest release of the RPM-based WordPress cPAddon, we released cPanel'sWordPress Managerinterface (Home >> Applications >> WordPress Manager) as a cPanel plugin. The WordPress Manager interface allows you to manage the WordPress installations on your cPanel account. The WordPress Manager interface only manages WordPress installations that you create with the RPM-based WordPress cPAddon.

Install WordPress Manually

If your hosting provider does not offer WordPress as a cPAddon, you can manually download WordPress from the WordPress website and install it on your site.
